A Three decades! The internet happened. Covid. More cars. Tough economy. More women work. Tourism increased. Oh, so many worldwide changes. But in rural Tuscany, we continue to go to the piazza and join in starting the day with our neighbors who are buying vegetables, having a coffee, joking with friends. What has lasted is a comfortable sense of community. The weekly outdoor markets endure and are as lively as ever. (I was afraid that ancient tradition would disappear.) Dinner is still at 8. The quality of produce still excels. So, basically daily life seems the same. Q What kind of a trip, an experience, would you recommend for a traveler who has not explored the Tuscan countryside? A Amazing, after all these years, we still have a steady stream of people coming to our house. This year, we must be on bicycle tour lists. Because my books are in over 50 languages, we have visitors from all over the world, and that’s really fun for us. We have met so many interesting travelers. And they meet each other! Two people who met at our gate got married. La pasta è il piatto per eccellenza della tradizione italiana, è il nostro orgoglio nazionale: impossibile non amarla! Essa è un piatto versatile che si può condire in mille modi dai sughi più elaborati e raffinati a quelli più semplici che si preparano appunto mentre aspettate che la pasta cuocia.

I have tried two dishes so far and have comments about both on what could be done better. The first recipe I made was the Spaghetti with Filet Mignon and herbed Balsalmic Onions. This recipe calls for three red onions. That is a LOT of onion! I think I used two smaller red onions. I also used angel hair pasta since that is what I had on hand. I would not add the pasta and the reserved pasta water to the onion/sauce mixture until right before serving. The pasta absorbed more of the sauce/liquid than I would have liked. Don't get me wrong; it was still very delicious! Bring this pan full of lightly salted water to a boil, then add the pasta – spaghetti is what I generally use, but stubby pici or square tonnarelli are also popular choices in cacio e pepe’s homeland. Of course, in reality, you can use whatever you happen to have in (though, as with carbonara, I think long strands make for more satisfying slurping). 5 Cook the pasta

A Bramasole is a tiny green hillside zone under a massive Etruscan wall, and our house, built sometime in the 1700s, was the villa of the area. Bramare means “to yearn for” and sole, “sun”— to yearn for the sun. I fell in love with the name before I saw the house.Once you’re set with all that, it’s time for recipes. Mayes starts with ideas for Vegetables and Cheese. From the simple sounding Penne Rigate with Spicy Broccoli Rabe and Toasted Garlic to the classic Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, from a hearty Baked Gigli with Four Cheeses and Ten-Minute Tomato Sauce to a lighter Lemon Pistachio Linguine. There are also several different recipes featuring mushrooms, adding rich flavor without meat, like the Pappardelle with Dried Porcini Mushrooms, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Croutons. Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the pepper, courgette and whole tomatoes for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining oil and spring onions and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until all the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, stirring regularly. (The tomatoes need to be soft so they release their juice to make a light sauce to coat the pasta.)
